I mourn the Effra's slide into homogeny, the day they stopped serving mannish water and took out the divider between the public and saloon bar the place lost a lot of its character... No more old Jamaican fellas slamming domino tiles onto the table and no more cheap, authentic Caribbean food cooked and served by the woman who seemed to live in the kitchen at the back of the pub... le sigh
The irony.
Poor Chelsea Joe ;)

Have you considered moving your custom to the Red Cow in Peckham?

Pubs do a roaring trade in my home town. Probably 'cause most of the people there are pissheads.

Yes, I can, and yes, they are. I know this as our local inSanesbury's very often has multi-buys that are more expensive than buying the same amount individually.
And the latest scam is having no bags in the fruit and veg section to make you buy the pre-pack shite at robbing cost. And people do, all day long.
Who needs cheese cubes when you have a pair of scissors, eh?

Nobody, but nobody, need to harbour an irrational fear of oversized cheese portions when a pair of finger-shears are to hand. Factoid!

Knocking that pub down is an outrage. Mind you, Richard E. Grant has only been sloshed once, so he was never going to step in.....

The film’s ‘Mother Black Cap’ pub (presumably a conflation of Camden’s Black Cap and Mother Red Cap – now the World’s End), where Withnail (Richard E Grant) orders “Two large gins. Two pints of cider. Ice in the cider”, was until recently one of the Babushka chain. It was briefly relaunched as The Mother Black Cap, but is now Crescent House, 41 Tavistock Crescent at St Mark’s Grove, W11, facing the end of St Luke’s Road. It’s had a radical makeover into a classy restaurant since finding fame as Camden’s woozy old Irish boozer

There's a piece by Washington Irving where he talks about the two "houses" of Mother Red Cap and Mother Black Cap in Camden, so I suspect they go back a long while. He also has a story about a ghostly "Father Red Cap" called "The Tale of the Black Fisherman" or something similar.
